I am not going to bed tonight, I need to be ready!

I'm giving up the will to live!
I've already had one major event this month ---- I went out to lunch!
I'm afraid another will overload my very delicate sensory system.hmm

I have just cut out my new "bubble wrap dress" I shall glue it tomorrow, so glad I have saved it, I knew someday, it would be needed for a special occasion. Roll on the 27th

Where are you going to keep yours? I think I'll just pop mine in the cornergrin

I have so much bubble wrap in the house and garden shed I could use it as a Sari.

newist Sat 11-Jan-14 23:19:32

I am now quite excited, about my creation, big bubbles little bubbles. To add to the excitement... only this week I received a NEW kind of wrap, it was not plastic stuff that popped, it was more like rubber, it will not pop, it just expands.

Newist glue? I wouldn't trust it,besides colored tape adds interest and cover at appropriate places! The small bubble wrap is much more slimming and comfortable than the large bubbles.smile

safety pins ;-)

Enviousamerican You are so right, You know how it is, you can just get carried away. I do need help to look sylph like, small bubbles it is.

Oops! We started early as it was grandsons fourth birthday on Friday and his baby brother didn't know he had to wait to show his appreciation of the bubble wrap that many of his brother's gifts were wrapped in. He just got right in there appreciating it straight away. I however will wait until the last Monday of the month, the actual Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, because I didn't really appreciate getting my fingers in the baby's mouth to extract the bubble wrap he was so busy appreciating!! hmm

Put biggish pieces on the floor and roll on it!

Barefoot stamping is good too!

The biggest bubbles are best. I started appreciating them yesterday by stabbing them Norman Bates style with a pair of scissors. Very therapeutic. smile

It is such a multi purpose use item. Yes dancing on it barefoot is good, popping it in times of stress is good, it works in wellies to keep toes warm and to think it was invented by "sticking" 2 shower curtains together

Newist! Your knowledge of bubble wrap is impressive! grin
